Saint Pete Beach is consistently ranked among the top beaches in the United States, famous for its miles of pristine white sand along the Gulf of Mexico. The most iconic landmark is the historic Don CeSar, known as the 'Pink Palace,' which has overlooked the Gulf since 1928. At the southern tip lies Pass-a-Grille Beach, a pleasant historic district with a laid-back vibe, boutique shops, and locally-owned restaurants. Lido Beach features a more serene environment, first-rate for bird watching and enjoying a peaceful Florida sunset. The calm, turquoise waters of the Gulf are good for water sports such as paddleboarding and jet skiing. The city's Corey Avenue serves as a hub for shopping, arts, and weekend markets, adding to the lively coastal culture.
